Weekly update #11

Last week we said we were working on a new mechanic. And as we tested it we really loved it! So we have a new feature, the combo system. Some powerups will create cool combos that will powerup the player further.

Sondtrack

We also have a new soundtrack added to the game! Soon we’ll update the soundtrack DLC too!

New contents

Oh also a new powerup joined our ranks!
The Lucky Dice gives the player a chance to come back to life with some health when dying.

Also as for the combo system 5 combos will be available for now, but we plan to add more! Each one of them requires the player to collect 2 specific items, but we’ll keep which items a secret for now not to spoil the fun in finding them all.

The chip shop is more likelly to spawn different chips when they change

We’re also working on a restock function for the chip shop, though it’ll still take some time to have it in the game.
